During our visit to the NCANA meeting last fall, we had the opportunity to host a live podcast about lobbying for your state association and we had the pleasure of bringing NCANA lobbyists Patrick Ballantine and Tracy Kimbrell onto the panel with us.
Both of them have been tremendous assets to our association because of their passion for lobbying. We explored that role to find out what skills it takes, how to utilize a lobbyist, and what you should expect from them.
In this episode, you’ll get to hear our live podcast taping from the event and the great discussion we had about what lobbyists mean to our profession.

To me this is the best area of law, to be able to advocate for good public policy which ends up having broad-based impact on lots of people’s lives. It’s an honor to be a part of the process and represent the NCANA.
